The day I went back in my mind Straight back to an Early time When my golden soul still live to shine And blue was just a color Mama get the crayons down I draw some silly little clown A silver tear a purple frown Back when blue was just a color You left me longing for the days When my heart was full of childish ways Long before I knew the pain Of never seeing you again Love was just the rainbow's end Valentine drawn for a friend Pretty picture of what might have been Back when blue was just a color You left me longing for the days When my heart was full of childish ways Long before I knew the pain Of never seeing you again I guess my need for being right Has left me here alone tonight Wishing things were black and white Wishing that blue was just a color Wishing that blue was just a color Wishing that blue was just a coloooorrrrrrr... ooooooohhhh
